My daily has had a smashed window for quite a while and was taped up with a piece of plastic over it. Now that the window has been replaced there is a lot of sticky crap stuck to the paint around the window. What could be used to remove this without damaging the paint?

if its the original paint safest to just use some metho, from memory metho doesn't remove acrylic, and should take the glue off from the tape

WD40 will remove old stickers scum and wont damage the paintwork, cheap and easy, but then again so's prepwash...

Try Kero that doesn't damage paint work but seems to get sticky shit off car quite easy.

prepsol or wax & grease remover is the best thing
